47P7 and fourmack, please use this forum:

http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...asp?CAT_ID=8

if that is where this thread is evolving to, not in the discussion forums...

I am sorry if I have offended anyone, but I am old, normally somewhat cranky and, for the last 3 days, pretty sick with a cold or flu. I was (or am) trying to make the point that a collector's greatest treasures could very well be his books, not his coins. It would be a wonderful world, maybe even Utopia, if all you had to do would be to buy one book on any subject and be done with it. Just think, everything that anyone would ever need to know would end up hidden between the covers of a medium sized book. That would be nice but it's not reality; it's not reality in the publishing world or not reality in the material world. These forums allow people to put down their opinions of whatever subject started the thread. Once you have opinions from 7-8 different posters, it's up to you to make up your mind about what is being discussed. You take a little bit of 'opinion A' and a little bit of 'opinion B' and things become clearer to you. It is the same with books, any book in fact. Even if you are able to gleen only one new salient fact from a $100 book, you could easily save tice or triple that with your next purchase just because of it.

To anyone that reads this thread, remember one thing: Don't let anyone tell you that buying books (or ordering them from a library) is a waste of time. It's the most valuable use of time that you can have.

To get back to this specific thread. There is a great deal written on these Provincial cents. You have books by Turner and others; websites from Haxby, Turner, Flynn & others; classic pamphlets and studies by Zoell, Griffin & Haxby; the archives of 3-4 informative past or current coin sites; and the minds of a great many people on current sites who will help where they can. If what you read is confusing because of the terms used, it's probably because you haven't read enough baseline work and the info is all out there for free.
